I first heard of Chicago-to-CA's K. Flay through remixes of her 'Life As A Dog' record done by beat maker B. Lewis (btw, I suck, check his bandcamp that I should've shared before), and instantly gravitated towards her quirky yet cutting blending of rapping/singing (more often the latter) that is further funkified by her rock tendencies in an electronic/chillbeats foundation.

Her latest EP 'Crush Me' is four solid tracks that all have their own defensive yet innocent declarations on life and ultimately relationships, with the undeniable flagship of the EP in opening track "Blood In The Cut"; the last three tracks are almost a temperamental cooldown that still hold equal weight, but ultimately less flair and romp.

Overall one of my favorite releases so far this year, and you'd be hard pressed to find cracks in her already solid discography.
